there have been persian speaking governments on the iranian plateau going back to into equity. iran is synonymous with the iranian plateau which is on the caspian and persian gulf, the two oil-rich portions of the middle east and pipelines open to central asia on one hand and down into iraq on the other. this iranian regime may transform itself and may be overthrown in a couple years that there will always be an iran and great iranian power on the iranian plateau. saudi arabia is more tenuous. creation of a family. it is not synonymous with the arabian peninsula. there are many other countries on the peninsula's borders, artificial in the center, always had trouble keeping in line, where the holy cities are. iran is strongly institutionalized. it is not a 1-man sophistic -- it has different centers of power against each other in a complex bureaucratic border. the gift of the iranian plateau and geographic legitimacy provides the government over millennia. i would say our grand strategy has to be that the u.s. has been estranged from iran for a third of the century, a decade lon

in a crime, crime took off after being plateaued throughout the 1950's. there was a conventional wisdom that said, if you put people in prison if only made them into smarter criminals. as we had a rising crime rate you had reductions in people in prison for crimes. we had a raw reduction in the number of people in prison in the 1960's. a raw reduction, not just a reduction in the term of ratios. it became a whole lot safer, if you were a teenage kid to engage in crime. when i did an analysis of the cook county delinquents, more delinquents than a non in the 1970's, the average number of arrests for those kids before they went to a custodial facilities for the first time, it was 13.6. it became a lot easier to engage in crime. can the whole lot easier to survive if you are a guy without having a job. you go through any of the day today, ground level ways of looking at the rod that a poor person and a poor young person and a poor young black person had come in the 1960's changed the rules that make it profitable to behave in ways that were disastrous and th
